A man and woman were loudly disputing
IN a doorway on Gratiot Street yesterday
when Detective Roberto happened along
and asked what was the trouble.
It's just this" replied the farmer.
She's my wife. We live out here about
seven miles. and she's had the toothache
Tor three days and nights. We drove in
this morning to have the tooth pulled, and
o she wants 10 back out"
But it has stopped aching" protested
the wife.
Yes, but it will begin agnin as soon as
we get home"
No, it won't"
But we can't rive fourteen miles and
lose half a day for nothing"
You might have your tintypes talen,'
suggested the detective. "That will be the
next thing 10 having a tooth pulled"
AIll agree to that" promptly replied tn,
wife. I'm willing 10 suffer, but it's nc
use to pull n tooth unless it aches"
We'll, we'll do that, them" observed the
husband, "and I'm much obliged to you,
stranger, for the suggestion. There's Z
place right over there, and I guess we car

GENTLEMEN:-Nearly all winter I was
confined to my room with ~infiammatory
rheumatism. I commenced using DR..
Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, but after
taking it for o time the pain became NOR
intense. and I was alarmed and fearc,
the remedy was making me worse, bu:
continued its use and soon the pain lett
me, and I gradually improved, the sore
ness leaving my arms and shoulders and
seeming to pass out at my toes. It has
completely cured me. At the time I
commenced using the remedy l had a
throat difficulty and the catarrh, which l
found to be better after taking it, and it
occurred to me to use it as o gargle,
which I did, and to my great satisfaction
l improved rapidly, and to-day am free
from both rheumatism and catarrh. ]
consider it indispensable as o family
medicine. I take one teaspoonful after
breakfast and find it a splendid tonic.
I would advise you to recommend it as o
gargle for throat troubles md catarrh,
for I know it will cure. I have seen some
remarkable cures from the use of this
remedy, and it is one I can recommend
to nil.
I am, very truly yours.
